Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dispense with supercooling for starting crystallization by coating the surface of a crystallizer with a seed crystal layer consisting of a soln. of a mixture to be separated and crystals suspended in the soln. before crystallization. SOLUTION: A two-phase seed crystal layer in a form of a suspension of a melt or soln. of a mixture to be separated and crystals of the mixture suspended therein is applied to the surface of a crystallizer wherein crystals are grown during crystallization before crystallization. By cooling the melt or the soln. to be separated in the crystallizer to form crystalls, a suspension is obtained. Subsequently, the crystallizer is emptied to apply the suspension to the surface of the crystallizer and the suspension layer is succeedingly frozen to apply a seed crystal layer. The mixture to be purified is introduced into the crystallizer as the melt or the soln. and, succeedingly, a solid crystal phase is frozen on the cooled surface of the crystallizer. Since the crystal phase is already present as the seed crystal layer at the start time of a crystallization stage, it is unnecessary to perform supercooling.

Fractional crystallization methods are based on the formation or growth of crystals on a cooled surface. The mixture to be purified is introduced into a suitable crystallizer and subsequently the solid phase, which differs in composition from the liquid phase, is frozen on a cooled surface. After freezing the proportion of the mixture used, the liquid residual phase is separated. This is generally done by simply letting out the residual phase. DE-A-2606364 describes a method for separating substances from a liquid mixture by fractional crystallization, in which the liquid mixture is kept under the condition that the crystallization zone is always filled. It is repeatedly introduced into the turbulent flow through the indirectly cooled crystallization zone. Other configurations of this method are described in EP 0279439 and DE 3708709, in which a frozen crystal layer on a cooled surface is contacted with a purification solution, thus Purify. The two last-mentioned specifications describe the presence of a thin seed layer on the cooled surface, which is formed by a thin film of liquid crystallized from the preceding crystallization stage after removal of the melt. It In order to form this seed crystal layer, strong supercooling is required after the crystals have flowed out in the preceding crystallization stage.

German Patent 1769123 states that crystallization must be initiated by forming local crystallization centers as a result of intense supercooling. Initiation of crystallization by spontaneous nucleation based on strong supercooling of a thin liquid film resulting from the preceding crystallization is described as a modified embodiment. It also points out that spontaneous nucleation must take place at particularly low coolant temperatures. It is particularly disadvantageous in this case that a large amount of energy is required for cooling.

The disadvantage of supercooling is that the entire crystallizer must be cooled. After the seed crystal layer has solidified, the entire apparatus has to be heated again to a temperature close to the equilibrium temperature, because of the extremely large temperature difference between the seed crystal layer and the equilibrium layer of the melt to be refined. This is because uncontrolled crystal growth occurs at the start. Heating the device before crystallisation is a considerable energy disadvantage, depending on the preceding supercooling.

EP-A-0218545 points out that the onset of crystallization is problematic in the case of certain substances, ie the onset of crystal formation is often irreproducible. In order to solve this problem, the specification proposes that the crystalliser is provided with a baffle which is preferably perforated to improve the liquid distribution at the beginning of the crystallization. The disadvantage in this case is the energy required to cool and heat the baffle, as well as the additional expense of the device.

The invention has the advantage that supercooling of the melt or solution is no longer required to initiate the crystallization of the seed crystal layer. Uncontrolled crystal growth, which is easily contained in the impurities and thus reduces the purification effect, is thus avoided.
Furthermore, the onset of crystallization is reproducible in all cases. Furthermore, melts or solutions containing suspended crystals are described in EP 0218545, German Patent 17
69123 and German Patent Application Publication No. 370.
It has been found to wet the crystallizer surface better than the single phase seed crystal layer described in 8709. Good wetting uniformly coats the crystallizer with a seed crystal layer, thus resulting in a significantly improved separation effect in crystallization. Therefore, an additional baffle according to EP 0 218 545 or German patent 176 912 which results in the above mentioned drawbacks.
The refining effect of crystallization is improved without the need for supercooling of the melt and crystallizer described in No. 3.

The process of the crystallization method of the present invention is not subject to any restrictions per se. In principle, all crystallizers having a mode of operation based on forming crystals on the cooled surface can be used. The method of the invention can be carried out as a dynamic or static process or as a combination of these two processes. In the case of a static process, for example, US Pat. No. 3,597,164, EP 032
3377 and French Patent No. 2668946
As described in the specification, the liquid phase moves only by free convection, whereas in the case of a dynamic process, the liquid phase is forced to convection. This can be done, for example, by forced flow in a fully flowing heat transfer device as described in DE 2606364 or for example DE 1769123 and EP 021.
This can be done by applying a thin film of liquid to the cooled walls described in 8545.

The suspension used in the method of the present invention can be manufactured in various devices. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the crystals are frozen from the melt or solution of the mixture to be separated and introduced into the melt or solution. The crystals are preferably frozen by indirect cooling, in a stirrer or stirrer with a stirrer passing especially near the wall, and conveyed by means of a scraping member from the cooled wall into the suspension.
A coolable member (eg, a cooling stylus (cold stylus) installed by the crystallizer itself or in the crystallizer or other device.
It is also possible to produce crystals by cooling the melt or solution directly in the melt or solution by means of an inger), a cooling zone or a stirring vessel) and to produce a suspension in this way. This has the advantage that it is not necessary to scratch out the crystals. The use of coolable members is advantageous because it is not necessary to cool the entire crystallizer. It is also possible to produce the suspension in the crystallizer or externally and to precipitate the crystals of the suspension in the crystallizer on the crystallizing surface, where they act as seed crystals. The solid content of the suspension is 0-60 solids per gram of suspension.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the crystallizer is filled with the suspension and then the crystallizer surface is emptied by applying the suspension onto the crystallizer surface. After emptying, the suspended layer remains on the crystallizer surface and continues (at its equilibrium temperature)
to freeze. If the suspension is produced in the crystallizer itself, the corresponding method can be selected. It is also possible to apply the suspension to the crystallizer surface by means of customary distributors, for example outlet weirs, nozzles, grooved distributors. This makes it possible to avoid filling the device and subsequent emptying.

It is described in the specification. According to the invention, after the seed crystal layer has been applied, the mixture to be purified is introduced into the crystallizer as a melt or solution and subsequently the solid crystalline phase is frozen on the cooled surface of the crystallizer. Since the crystalline phase is already present as a seed layer at the beginning of the crystallization stage, the mixture to be purified no longer needs to be supercooled to form crystals. While filling the crystallizer, the melt or solution to be purified is
It is present at or slightly above the melting point in degrees Celsius to avoid the formation of crystals in the feed conduit. If crystals were precipitated from suspension and frozen solids,
It is no longer necessary to empty and subsequently fill the crude melt or solution. In this case, crystallization can be carried out immediately.

After freezing the proportion of the mixture used, the two phases are separated from one another, which can be carried out, for example, by simply draining or draining the liquid residual phase. Subsequently, the separated crystal phase is heated to a temperature at which the crystals liquefy, and this melt or solution is added if necessary.
Process at another crystallization stage. It is also possible to treat the residual phase in other crystallization stages which are described in detail below. Other purification steps can be performed following crystallization. The cleaning of the crystal layer and / or the sweating of the crystal layer with the purification liquid described, for example, in DE-A-3708709 are particularly suitable. During sweating, the temperature of the crystal layer rises, the highly contaminated part of the crystal layer elutes,
In this way an additional refining effect is achieved.

The process of the invention is carried out in one or more crystallization stages. Generally, the crystallization stage can be divided into a purification stage and a drive-out stage. In order to enhance the separating effect, the crystallization step can be followed by another purification (crystallization) step, in each of which the crystals of the preceding step are crystallized. In order to increase the yield of this process, it is possible to provide an expulsion stage, in which the liquid residual phase is treated in the expulsion (crystallization) stage. In this case, the method is preferably based on the countercurrent principle, in which the crystal stream is fed to the next stage with the highest number of stages,
The crystallization residue stream is fed to the stage with the next lowest stage number. The number of crystallization steps, and thus the number of purification and drive steps, depends on the separation operation and can be determined by experiments well known to those skilled in the art.

In principle, melts or solutions of any composition which result from the process can be used to produce suspensions. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a melt or solution that is purer than the melt or solution that crystallizes in the individual stages is used for producing the suspension. Preference is given to using molten crystals which leave the individual crystallization stages.

N-vinylpyrrolidone having ## STR3 ## was crystallized in a crystallizer described in DE-A-2606364 (BASF) in two purification stages and four drive stages.
A two-phase suspension of N-vinylpyrrolidone melt containing suspended N-vinylpyrrolidone crystals was applied as a seed crystal layer on the surface of the crystallizer at all crystallization stages. To produce the seed crystal layer, a suspension was produced by filling the crystallizer with the melt to be purified in individual steps and cooling the apparatus. The device was then emptied and the suspension remaining on the surface of the crystallizer was solidified. The equilibrium temperatures of the melt during crystallization at the individual stages were as follows:

Purification stage 5: 13.5 to 12.9 ° C. Purification stage 6: 13.8 to 13.6 ° C. Discharge stage 1: 13.1 to 12.6 ° C. Discharge stage 2: 12.5 to 11 ° .4 ° C. Ejection stage 3: 11.2-8.5 ° C. Ejection stage 4: 8.5-4.3 ° C. Except for the ejection stage 4 operated by the static process, all other stages are in motion. It operated by the automatic process. The ratio of the amount of crystals frozen in one stage to the amount of crystals used in this stage was 0.8 in the first purification stage and 0.75 in the second purification stage. In the first purification stage, an impurity concentration of 0.102% by weight in the crystals (based on 100% by weight of N-vinylpyrrolidone) was achieved. This corresponds to a concentration of impurities of 1/4 in comparison with the abovementioned U.S. patent specification (the concentration of impurities was 0.4% by weight, based on 100% by weight of N-vinylpyrrolidone). The crystals are subsequently fed to a second purification stage, which is left with an impurity concentration of 190 ppm, which has an impurity concentration of 500 pp.
m is about 2.5 times less than the above-mentioned U.S. patent specification.

Thus, the impurity concentration in the purified N-vinylpyrrolidone, which is about 2.5 times less than the known method, is obtained by the method of the invention under the same starting conditions and the same number of purification steps. This is achieved by applying a seed crystal layer of N-vinylpyrrolidone with the same amount of crystal freezing to the melt or solution used before each crystallization. This shows the same product properties, fewer purification steps and thus a considerable reduction in the required separation costs.
